The epidemiological situation in the municipality of Chisinau is worrisome. Hospitals and polyclinics continue to report a high number of respiratory infections, bronchitis and pneumonias both in children and in adults. The number of cases of flu also rose. Chisinau is on epidemiological alert, if not in a flu pandemic, the chief health officerof Chisinau Boris Gîlca stated in the ordinary meeting of officials of municipal services and divisions.
The children aged between 5 and 14 and the children younger than four are the most susceptible groups.

A similar situation is at Municipal Clinical Children’s Hospital No.1, where 125 children were admitted on 100 beds.
